What a gas, as they used to say in 1958 when this photograph was taken. Janet Miller of Lyons, seated, was chosen Queen of the Rink for 1958 at Manns Corners, south of Lyons. You can see her attendants are also wearing roller skates. After the crowning ceremony,skating continued until 5 a.m.

Click on the photo to see the names. I’m not sure if I have them in the right order because they weren’t listed in a left-to-right fashion.

I wonder who was crowned the final Queen of the Rink before the annual ceremony came to an end.
